I used to hire someone who worked part time from home to bookmark some of the key pages in thousands of pdfs just so that I can directly jump to those pages instead of spending time myself on finding those pages.

AI can now do it very cheap so no need to give that job to a human anymore.

My use case cannot be solved by just grepping for the keywords because it does return false positives. You do need some intelligence (human or AI) to figure out if its the right page or not to add the bookmark.

I know I have dozens of tasks like that but I can’t seem to think of them when I’m wondering what to do with AI!
